GRG can be used in both new construction and restoration projects. In new construction GRG offers the ability to create modem shapes that would be practically impossible to build in places using conventional methods.
In restoration work GRG is very important because it provides an economical way to recreate plaster ornaments and products of the past.
GRG or Glass Reinforced Gypsum has been nicknamed the 'magic mineral'. Gypsum sets fast, develops high strength and permits fabrication of strong resilient glass reinforced gypsum products that are fire - resistant, adaptable to deep patterns, accept most coatings, help overcome fire - code problems of many plastics, and costs about 2/3 less than filled polyesters.

The unique design, manufacture and installation of a GRG system can provide many solutions to the various complications of interior decor, at an economical price.
The benefits of using this 'magic mineral' are great and can be enjoyed for years, such benefits include: -

• Fire Resistant: Gypsum is a mineral it will not burn. Which makes it a very safe material to be used for interior work.
  
• Safety in Handling: Gypsum does not emit toxic gases when subject to heat as some material do. Adding an additional element of safety for both workers and customers.
  
• Saving up to 75%: Gypsum is a low - cost solution to those industrial product and process problems for which it is suited. It may be up to 70% less than most thermosetting plastics.
  
• Lightweight but strong: GRG products are lightweight but strong. Therefore on site installation is made easier because installation only requires conventional drywall finishing techniques. Also because GRG parts are lightweight, they can usually be attached to a framing system that is lighter than that required for plaster drywall etc.
  
• Adaptable Surface: GRG products have a surface that 5 easily decorated with most oil based, alkyd or latex paints, and most stains, lacquers, varnishes or shellacs.
  
• Cost Effective: The use of GRG systems can reduce the overall cost and on site labour requirements and thus shorten construction schedules.
  

Our company provides an extensive range of GRG products which include the following: Theme work for restaurants, domes, bulkheads, niches, corbels, archways, dado rails, cornices, barrel vault ceilings, false brickwork, false beams, false timber, false stone work, column facades and restoration work etc.

GRP AND ITS PRODUCTS:

GRP is a material that is hard, strong and resilient suitable for internal and external use. Therefore GRP is a material that simultaneously satisfies customer's requirements for better quality and more individualised designs at very keen prices. GRP firstly, allows customers to take delivery of whole units - a shop/bar front can be made at the work- shop upon specification, which can then be installed on to the front of any building - old or new. It can also be taken down and changed for a new design if required later.
GRP therefore has the advantage of cutting down on site time and labour input while providing a product that will need little or no maintenance.
Secondly fitters have whole units to fix - so there is no need for carpenters, plumbers, tilers or plasterers, all taking a long time to produce small components, the moulded GRP units require a single component fixing which is easy to fit.
Thirdly from a buyers perspective choosing GRP products means that they only have to purchase one item: consequently this means less collaboration with subcontractors and all that entails. Units can also be easily matched on other similar buildings.
Finally GRP products are a great investment for all parties concerned - designers, buyers, developers etc. this is due to the many advantages gained through using the GRP material, which include:

• The mould being left with an aesthetically pleasing gelcoat finish, which neverneeds painting.
  
• GRP is cost effective in the short term - requiring less manual work and reduced subcontractors on site.
  
• GRP is cost effective in the long term - because it is made from a tough glass reinforced plastic which is corrosive resistance and maintenance free - it outlives cast iron, timber, aluminium, sand stone etc. it will guarantee durable service over many years.
  
• Tooling costs are very low, in comparison with injection moulding & deep- draw steel moulding.
  
• Damaged products are repairable.
  
• GRP products have a good chemical resistance.
  
• GRP products have good heat insulation.
  
• Mass production press tooling costs are very competitive compared to other options.
  
• GRP is versatile.
  
• GRP can withstand extreme weathering conditions, its finish will not deteriorate or need much maintenance.

In addition to these advantages special colours and textures can be incorporated into the GRP mouldings.
